The NSF Perspective on HEC-FSIO (as seen from
CNS)
The Future of Computing• Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) is at the center
of an ongoing societal transformation and will be for decades to come.
• The explosive growth of scientific and social data, wireless connectivity at broadband speeds for billions of endpoints – which are both people and environmental sensors – and seamless access to computational resources and applications in the “cloud” are transforming the way we work, learn, play and communicate.
• The impact of computing will go deeper into the sciences and engineering and will become more pervasive throughout society. Policy and privacy issues will loom larger as our reliance on technology and computationally-enabled collective intelligence grows.
• Enormous static or streaming data sets generated by modern experimental and observational methods
• Infusion of computation into science and engineering is revolutionizing research
• Shift toward indirect, automatic extraction of new knowledge about the physical or biological world continues to accelerate
• Enabled by data mining and machine learning, discovery and visualization techniques together with the emergence of multi-core processing and advanced server architectures

Transfer
• Take a look at the CNS core programs CSR and NeTS (NSF 11-555) – newly revised
CISE
• Don’t be afraid to suggest work that crosses our programs:– Work in high performance computing crosses CCF
and CNS– “Big data” involves all of the divisions in CISE
• If you have any doubts,– Contact a program director or two!– Come visit us!– Dream big!
